Tunuyan. The river runs swiftly across one end of the hollow, mud- 
coloured, is lost in the marshes of the “ pampa,” to appear again, it 
is said, in the south, and help to swell the Rio Colorado. Here 
among many kinds of butterflies were captured for the first time 
Anartia iatrupae, L., Tatochila mlocemi, Capron, Lycaena hanno, Holl., 
Asychis cerialis, Cram ; together with a good many of the species met 
with here, as Pamphila phylaens, Drury, Lycaeua (.') casaias, Thccla 
eurytyulus, Hb., 'Terms (leva, Dbl., and var. minor, Berg, Calias lesbia, 
Fb., etc. Elegant dragon flies, hornets, wasps, and beetles were 
abundant, and besides a good many of these, we took a pair of grey 
and white footmen, reminding one of Coscinia cribnun (the Ringwood 
one), several noctuae, and a Macaria resembling closely M. alternate. 
in addition to the list of insects taken at the Puente, we saw 
several examples of a fine dark-brown butterfly with a slow flight, a 
yellow Colias, a black skipper, and a painted lady or small brightly 
coloured Vanexsa. Two or three noctme, one an Agrotid, were also 
taken, and one night at dusk a number of a large species of geometer, 
superficially like Selieloxenia pi uni a Ha, were flying over some low 
thorny bushes. Up to the present I have been unable to identify any 
of the Cordillera insects.
